PDF Table Extraction for Researchers

Extract tables from journal articles, methods papers, and supplementary PDFs into CSV for analysis.

The research workflow

Research PDFs often contain dense tables, captions, footnotes, and multi-column layouts. PDF2TABLE helps researchers pull structured table data into a format that can be checked, cleaned, and analyzed.

Where it helps

Use it for literature reviews, methods comparisons, supplementary tables, and early-stage dataset assembly when manual copy and paste would slow the project down.

Recommended use

Start with the pages that contain the table, review the preview, then download the clean CSV for spreadsheet or Python analysis.

Try this workflow with your PDF

Upload a PDF, choose the pages that contain tables, and download the output as CSV.
